Don't worry about the flashes. They are just informational. Whether Wifi is enabled, whether it is transmitting or receiving data,... Maybe your notebook's manual has something to say about what the colors are supposed to mean. Or just ignore it.

If you find the flashes too bright and too distracting you could file a wishlist bug for an option to turn them off. Or just put some tape over it.
